FAQs
Can I use cream cheese instead of mascarpone?
Yes, but mascarpone provides a smoother and richer texture. If using cream cheese, let it soften first for easier mixing.
How do I prevent the cookies from getting too soggy?
Dip the cookies in coffee briefly—just enough to moisten them without soaking.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, it actually tastes better after chilling for a few hours or overnight.
What type of coffee should I use?
Use strong brewed coffee or espresso for a bold flavor that complements the Biscoff cookies.
Can I make this in a large dish instead of individual servings?
Absolutely! Layer the ingredients in a square or rectangular dish, then slice into portions when serving.
Can I use another type of cookie?
Yes, graham crackers or digestive biscuits can work, but Biscoff cookies provide the best caramelized flavor.
What if I don’t have a piping bag for the Biscoff spread?
Simply warm the spread slightly and drizzle it over the top with a spoon.
Is this recipe kid-friendly?
Yes, as long as you use decaf coffee or a milk soak instead of regular coffee.
Can I add fruit to this tiramisu?
Yes, sliced bananas or caramelized apples pair well with the Biscoff flavors.
How do I make the layers look neat?
Use a spoon or spatula to spread the mascarpone mixture evenly and press down the cookies gently for a uniform look.
